I'm really not sure where to check level or where to top up, can you give any advice please?
Ideally I would like to change it.
Thanks

I cant remember if it was M10 or M12 I got but they will let you have a look at the shop and buy the ones that a 17mm spanner fits on,
Then tap this into the bung and undo with a 17mm spanner! They can be tight but once you crack them off its easy peasy

As for the oil I'm not 100% sure but again Mr Haynes has the answer, he says SAE 80 or 80W/90 hypoid gear oil.
